I had a guide tell me stories about corporate deer hunters that never left the lodge. Had hookers with them all week-end and the guide did the hunting. Shot a nice buck then let the hunter get his picture made with the deer. Then had the head mounted and tells his wife and buddies about the great hunt he was on.
More common than one might think. Some 40 years ago I was passing through Roma,Tx, a small Texas border town on the Rio Grande River. Stopped at an old gas station to fill up. When I went into the small "office" to pay for the gas, was surprised to see probably 30 guns/gun cases leaned up along back wall. Asked the owner if he was in the gun business, and he replied, "No, just guns left with me to keep while owners went across the river."
